Davies in line for Bolton return

Striker Kevin Davies can expect to return to Bolton’s front line at home to Wigan tomorrow, having been left on the bench for yesterday's defeat at Liverpool.

Boss Gary Megson had tried to flood his midfield with players to stifle Liverpool, but Bolton still lost 3-0 and ended with defender Gary Cahill injured.

Cahill played for much of the second half with a rib problem, and could be a doubt to face Wigan.

Bolton provisional squad: Jaaskelainen, Nolan, Cahill, Steinsson, Muamba, Gardner, Samuel, Taylor, Elmander, A.O’Brien, McCann, Al Habsi, Davies, Shittu, Smolareck, Riga, Basham, Obadeyi.
